Sia,
That's another beauty! I have a weakness for baby potatoes. They look indisputably cute, don't they? :D Tried this today afternoon. Turned out finger-licking and lip-smacking(ly) tasty! But, do you add water to it to make it thicker (gravy-like)? Mine turned out to be a little on the drier side, while yours looks more of a gravy. But, like the name suggests, it was super-tangy :) Thanks babe!
